Hopefully providing them as "update-alternatives" and making them even the default are two different steps to be done in different openSuSE releases!
These tools are so essential that a possible replacement must done very carefully. For example what happens on a quad core CPU with "make -j 4" if make invokes 4 multithreaded pbzip2? A load of 16!? Is this what the user wants?
